About the Paramount Theatre
The Paramount Theatre opened in 1930 as a movie palace and is a Denver landmark. The Art Deco interior — ornate plasterwork, original architectural details, restored to excellent condition — gives the venue a character that purpose-built modern venues can't match.
At 2,000 capacity it's the right size for artists between the club circuit and arena tours. The location on 16th Street Mall means you're in the absolute center of downtown Denver — every hotel, restaurant, and bar is accessible without a car.
“The Paramount is one of those rooms where the building itself adds to the show. The Art Deco details are real, the acoustics are good, and it's on 16th Street Mall — which means dinner, show, and a drink after are all a short walk from each other.”
